Example of a surprising way to use loop

playbook_tasks.yaml

- name: a loop that surprised me
  stat: "{{ item }}"
  loop:
    - path: /some/file/path
    - path: /another/file/path

- name: a loop the way I normally do it (maybe not for stat, but for modules with multiple paramaters)
  stat:
    path: "{{ item.path }}"
  loop:
    - path: /some/file/path
    - path: /another/file/path

- name: a pattern I often use with something this simple
  stat:
    path: "{{ item }}"
  loop:
    - /some/file/path
    - /another/file/path
